Scalzi makes for such a satisfying read: a variety of foci from simply enjoying life with fuzzy critters to pulling off a trick that will change the lives of galaxies. There's lots of cleverness often with an arch, snarky sort of tone also frequently employed in his blog. He's very understanding of the human condition and creates characters with different layers. Smart, funny, and understanding, one might be inclined to crush on him, except that part of his personal appeal is how very much he loves his wife.
This makes a nice little supplement to the Interdependency novels.
(I'm trying to go back and fill in where I didn't get around to reviewing something in the first place. Notes for myself, if nothing else)
